(The opportunity for completions has) definitely been there. But for some reason we've kind of stayed away from it a little bit. |
[Arizona at NY Giants: 3:15 p.m. Sunday, Giants by 3 – Plaxico Burress left Pittsburgh in free agency because all the Steelers did was run. Now, the veteran receiver is looking to make a connection with second-year quarterback Eli Manning.] Hopefully, ... that Manning-to-Burress thing can be a big thing around here. |
All the things that are going on in their lives, we all wish that never happened to them, but at the same time we got to go out and approach it like a regular football game. |
As a kid growing up, you always dreamed of playing on 'Monday Night Football,' ... This is a different situation. You've got players and coaches on their team that lost homes, have scattered family members. They definitely have a lot to come out and play for, and doing it on a Monday night stage, because of the situation, they're definitely going to be emotional. |
Everybody has their day at the office, ... Jay's one of the best kickers in the league. He's been doing a great job for us. |

Everybody knows we just put up probably the ugliest 400 yards that an offense can put up. I've never been on a team where we can just put up 300, 400 yards so easily and make it look so ugly. That just goes to show that if we can just go out and be flawless, nobody will be able to stop us. |
For them to beat Carolina in Carolina says a lot about their team and their character. Now they've got the Monday night stage. We've just got to come out and match their intensity because if we don't, those guys are going to play all four quarters. |
For us, we've still got to play the New Orleans football team. There are a lot of things going on in their lives. We all wish it never would have happened to them, but at the same time, we've got to approach it like a regular football game. |
He's been talking a little for the last couple of days. We've been laughing, having some fun. He even got on me the other day for having my stuff in front of his locker. But he's a quiet guy. He really doesn't say much. I pretty much had to initiate the conversation and then all a sudden the guy just starts blabbing. Hey, you'd never know that guy could talk so much. |
He's definitely not afraid to stick it in there. He's going to throw the ball in traffic. He has a lot of confidence in his arm. But if I was that big, I'd have that much confidence too. We're all anxious to see how it's going to work out. The world's definitely going to get to see what he's got. |
He's kind of got a little quiet 'Eli swagger' about him. You can actually sense that he's being more vocal and he understands that it's his team. |
I can't do anything but go forward. I learned from every aspect last year, from being hurt and losing my position, to hearing it from the fans and the media and getting criticized. I survived it. |
I can't even get a read on him or how he's feeling. As long as I've known him this year, he's been the same, no matter what. What's so special about this game? |
I didn't make the play. |
